BleepingComputer.com: Stubborn Virus = big issue!

Hi All

I have used multiple Spyware tools (S&D, AdAware) to get rid of this virus. It is not only slowing down my internet connection but is also opening random popups and generally messing up my computer. Many people often use my computer as I live in a shared house, so I have no idea how this virus came about, but I am hoping someone can help me. After scanning my computer using the about Spyware tools I noticed there was always one virus detected, but it could not be removed (Spybot S&D)...or was removed but when the I restarted my computer it would reappear (AdAware)...

...I have attached a HiJack This report to this post hoping someone is able to help...

Thanking you in advance,
Abid

Hello Abid H M Welcome to the BC HijackThis Log and Analysis forum. I will be assisting you in cleaning up your system.


I ask that you refrain from running tools other than those we suggest while we are cleaning up your computer. The reason for this is so we know what is going on with the machine at any time. Some programs can interfere with others and hamper the recovery process.



In the upper right hand corner of the topic you will see a button called Options. If you click on this in the drop-down menu you can choose Track this topic. By doing this and then choosing Immediate E-Mail notification and then clicking on Proceed you will be advised when we respond the your topic and facilitate the cleaning of your machine.


Please keep in mind that we have a large backlog of users just like yourself waiting to be helped so try to be as timely as possible in your replies. Since we do this on a part-time voluntary basis we are limited on how many logs we can respond to and keep open due to time restraints. If you have to be away or can't answer for some other reason just let me know. Thank you for your understanding.



After 5 days if a topic is not replied to we assume it has been abandoned and it is closed.



In order to better assist you I will need the following:




Download DDS and save it to your desktop from here or here.
Disable any script blocker, and then double click dds.scr to run the tool.

• When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
  1. DDS.txt
  2. Attach.txt

Save both reports to your desktop, post the DDS.txt in the reply window and attach the Attach.txt

If you have any CD emulation software such as Daemon or Alcohol please run the following before you run GMER. If you do not skip DeFogger and go right on to GMER. If you do use it let me know so we can reenable when we finish up.



Disable:


Please download DeFogger to your desktop.

Double click DeFogger to run the tool.

• The application window will appear
• Click the Disable button to disable your CD Emulation drivers.
• Click Yes to continue
• A 'Finished!' message will appear
• Click OK
• DeFogger will now ask to reboot the machine - click OK

IMPORTANT! If you receive an error message while running DeFogger, please post the log defogger_disable which will appear on your desktop.

Do not re-enable these drivers until otherwise instructed.



Disable your antivirus along with other security programs such as Windows Defender or TeaTimer before running the following. Instructions can be found Here.



Download GMER Rootkit Scanner from here to your desktop.

• Double click the exe file.
• If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run scan...click on NO, then use the following settings for a more complete scan.
  
  
  
  Click the image to enlarge it
  
  
  
• In the right panel, you will see several boxes that have been checked. Uncheck the following ...
  • Sections
  • IAT/EAT
  • Drives/Partition other than Systemdrive (typically C:\)
  • Show All (don't miss this one)
• Then click the Scan button & wait for it to finish.
• Once done click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "Gmer.txt" or it will save as a .log file which cannot be uploaded to your post.

Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop, and post it in reply.

**Caution**
Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries



If GMER does not want to run add the following to those that you unchecked and try it again:

• Registry
• Files
  

Note: Please make only the Attach.txt from DDS an attachment, post the other logs directly into the reply window.



Thanks,
